Canon Legends version → Linked from 301 articles
The Vulture-class starfighter, also known as the Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid, Mark I, or more simply as the vulture droid, was an unmanned model of droid starfighter manufactured by Haor Chall Engineering Corporation and utilized by the Trade Federation and later the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The fighter relied on overwhelming numbers during combat. Usually, these droids were constructed in the cathedral factories of Xi Char, where precision manufacturing was considered an act of religious worship. Later they were manufactured by Baktoid Armor Workshop. Vulture droids were present at many engagements during the Clone Wars.
